wheel problems

hey guys ive got a little wheel issue.
My back wheel is somehow stuck on. All of the lug nuts just will not budge.
Ive tried a breaker bar, and my impact wrench, but nothing will get those nuts off. I need to get that last wheel off but i dont know what to do now. Is there any other way to get it off? The other 3 all came off nicely. Im assuming that it was torqued way too much.

I've had luck soaking them with PB Blaster, then a little heat, then using a big hammer on the lug wrench to move the molecules around a little bit. It might take a few rounds of this to allow the oil to soak in but over time you'll win. Don't heat so much that you take the temper out, boil your lube, or start a fire.

You also might check the nuts/studs to see if they are marked "L" or "R" and don't belong that way on the side of the truck your working on. Just in case a prior owner incorrectly installed left or right hand threaded studs on a side where they didn't belong.
